Comparing between the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2, each reflects the outstanding reputation of their respective manufacturers, Michelin and Pirelli, but with noticeable differences in performances across various tests.
With a rating of 94% on our site, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 certainly appears to be the stronger model. Across ADAC, Autobild, and Autoklub tests, it consistently delivered impressive results. Its strengths were particularly pronounced in ADAC's 'text summary', highlighting its precise performance, highly predicted mileage and low fuel consumption. Autobild's test further emphasized its dry braking, handling and traction abilities as its best features. It was also the test winner in snowy conditions, while maintaining good aquaplaning abilities and precise steering. Its limited grip on wet roads was seen as a minor pitfall.
Contrastingly, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 showcases strength in its own rights. Despite a slightly lower rating of 67% on our site, it bagged second position in ADAC tests, surpassing the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Praise was given to its precise and secure dry road handling and low fuel consumption, even when handling wet and snowy conditions. However, the tyres were a bit heavy, and their predicted lifespan was the shortest amongst the tested tyres. Autobild also accredited it with having the best security reserves during aquaplaning and quiet exterior noise, while noting that its rolling resistance and average mileage as areas needing improvements.
Collectively, Michelin CrossClimate 2 seems armored with strong suitability for dry and particularly snowy conditions, boasting top-tier performances in various metrics related to these areas. In contrast, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 appears as an all-rounder with dynamic handling on both wet and dry roads, with a gentle exterior noise.
Considering both these tyre models' performances, their strengths and areas for improvement across multiple tests, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 globally seems to be a better performer overall. However, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 can still be a very good choice, especially for drivers looking for an all-round performance with added comfort from its reduced noise level.
